Swanage Museum & Heritage Centre is a local history museum and family history centre in Swanage, Dorset. The museum was established in 1976; it merged with and has been collocated with the heritage centre in its current location since 2005. The museum was established in 1976 by David Florence and Phyllis Mapley and was known as the Tithe Barn Museum & Art Centre. The museum had exhibits relating to Swanage and Purbeck, including geology, local history, archaeology, maritime and stone quarrying. The tithe barn is Grade II listed and is built of Purbeck stone. The listing entry describes the barn as 18th-century, although the local historian David Lewer attributed it to the 16th-century. The museum was held on a 99-year peppercorn lease. Since the museum vacated the tithe barn in 2005, it has become a private residence. More information...
